Verity cradles herself, as the impact of what just happened to her hit. Diane, refuses to look down, Tony is still silent, not moving a muscle.
"is this Karma?" Diane questions to herself. Diane stands, she just stands, not moving one bit. Edward starts to snore. "it looks like the injection is wearing off" Diane thought to herself. She thinks also of Tony, is he okay? Diane looks over to Verity who out of shock is stuck still, the same as Diane. Diane is trying, she is giving it her all to move towards Tony- to help him, but she simply just can't. She thinks of the baby she is growing inside of her, she thinks of Breda attacking it, the baby is genderless, Diane had only found out a week ago at this point. She thinks "what if Breda killed me?" she starts to shake in fear..."only i know about the baby" she sits back down without thought, and falls gently on the floor. She enters the fetal position and whimpers.
"Sami is gonna be distraught" Verity's thoughts begin. "he was looking forward to the baby, even though there isn't a baby, i just got caught up in a lie, in a dream i wanted. now i could never give him what he wants" she sit still, her eyes only emoting shock. "i feel nothing, no pain, no sadness, no nothing. i want to leave this place, to find a new place where no one knows me". she thinks of how Misbah would respond, knowing what sami has gone through in the past, with his bad luck with babies. She thinks of Edward who is snoring, "he has no worries, i bet he is dreaming of him and Diane in Barbados, the place he met mother" Verity's thoughts halt. Her mind is blank.
Diane hears verity stand up, she looks over to her, Diane sits up immediately as soon as she could see what verity was attempting.
"No! verity, you don't want to do that!" Diane screams from across the basement. Verity gives Diane a blank expression as she hoops the noose around her neck and stands apon a chair.
Diane can't move, she lacks the energy, she Tries her hardest to lift her feet off of the ground... and to step forward, but it was too late, Verity had jumped off of the chair...
"Edward please PLEASE WAKE UP, HELP HER" Diane screams "please EDWARD WAKE UP PLEASE" Diane screams in agony and pain. Diane falls to the ground, she can't bare to look.
"verity?" Edward says as he opens his eyes "omg no! VERITY" Edward stands and runs over to verity lifting her body so that she could breathe. Verity coughs. "Dad?" She says as her eyes come back to reality.
"my daughter! what happened?" Edward mumbles out as he brushes her hair.
"i am lost"
